Recipe of the Week: Thanksgiving Side Dish #3 - Edamame Succotash

One of the only things that I won't eat (and this is coming from a girl who grew up on fresh venison, fried oysters and liver and onions) is lima beans. A popular southern side dish at Thanksgiving is succotash, but instead of traditional lima beans, this dish is made with edamame (which is a fancy word for soybeans). A complete recipe changer for me and something that I might consider as a side dish on my holiday table.This dish is in memory of Brian's late brother, Ken.Enjoy!Stacy
